I've never watched the show. I am very glad it's not me cleaning up the ceiling after the pressure cooker exploded. Not a fun job.
I remember going to the country as a kid and mom getting a pig's head and bringing it home. She was really tickled. Cooked it and made souse with it. I'd rather have bologna - LOL. I think seeing her messing with the pig head and smelling it cook is what turned me against the souse - couldn't eat it without thinking about that head lying there on the table. Ugh!
